"Saw the Gordon Head Road rezoning the same week it hit council. Called Seba Construction before any other GC — that turned into a tender invitation."— Mike R., general contractor, Greater Victoria
"I used to spend Saturday mornings checking five different municipal websites. Now everything lands in one Friday email. It's not even close."— Sandra L., land use consultant, Nanaimo
The information gap
A rezoning for a 78-unit building appears at a council committee meeting. Here's what happens next — and when most people learn about it.
Rezoning application gets its first reading. Staff report is published in the agenda. Address, applicant, scope, and CAC are all in the document — but it's buried in a 400-page PDF.
Council votes to proceed. Public hearing date is set. Neighbouring residents start to hear about it.
If it's a large enough project, a local journalist picks it up. The story quotes the council vote — which already happened.
The project appears in the building permit database. Design is locked. Trades are selected. The GC was called a year ago.
Sourced from official published agendas of 32 Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands municipalities. Updated weekly. No manual curation.
